AbstractThis paper describes a risk management program that Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) developed for a NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) task‐order contract. The program uses a closed‐loop risk management process, supported by a spreadsheet‐based tool to standardize the information that task managers must enter and to facilitate risk impact calculations. The paper addresses the challenges of developing and deploying a risk management program for a diverse task‐order contract. The paper also describes process improvement actions taken to maximize program acceptance among CSC task m
